No idea what it’ll look like when it gets to me. Sitting on the front stoop watching the light show is pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting on the front stoop watching the light show is pretty good though. Really impressive light show, at that. Really loud thunder and some light/moderate rain right now. Looks like we’ll be on the southern edge of the cell, but it’s better than nothing. Edit: You might get rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Classic mid/late summer. The woods are alive with critters. It sounds like a jungle. The flashes in the sky from storms to my west makes me want to take a Jebwalk. Hopefully it's a stormy night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Brief shower late last night added another .05". Total now .40". Not nearly enough to matter, but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Per cocorahs, looks like I ended up with about 0.70", which I suppose makes sense. Started out light to moderate, then rained pretty hard for about 20 minutes, then back to stratiform-type stuff for another hour or so. Haven't seen a light show like that in a long time. Super impressive. It was also downright tropical during the whole thing: rain, lightning, not a breath of wind, and really warm and muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Had a nice lightning storm a half hour ago here. 26 degrees Celsius out right now, downright tropical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Weekend into early next week is looking hot. Several days in the low to mid 90s with HI 100+ likely for urban areas by Monday. I really want fall to come early this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
